The The Hereford Mappa Mundi, attributed to Richard of Haldingham and dated to around 1290-1300, is one of the largest and most famous medieval maps to have come down to us. It was not conceived as a “modern” geographical tool, but as a symbolic vision of the Christian world: Jerusalem is at the centre, the East occupies the top, and the map combines sacred history, geography, fantastic creatures and biblical references. Held at Hereford Cathedral, it bears witness to the way the Middle Ages interpreted space as divine order and as the story of human history.
